Completely Automated Install

To do this, you need the package system-config-kickstart, but because this is a GUI program this will install WAY too much for a server. Therefore, we have to manually download the debian package file and install it by force.

'apt-get upgrade' OR 'apt-get dist-upgrade'?

upgrade
upgrade is used to install the newest versions of all packages
currently installed on the system from the sources enumerated in
/etc/apt/sources.list. Packages currently installed with new
versions available are retrieved and upgraded; under no
circumstances are currently installed packages removed, or packages
not already installed retrieved and installed. New versions of
currently installed packages that cannot be upgraded without
changing the install status of another package will be left at
their current version. An update must be performed first so that
apt-get knows that new versions of packages are available.

dist-upgrade
dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of upgrade,
also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions
of packages; apt-get has a "smart" conflict resolution system, and
it will attempt to upgrade the most important packages at the
expense of less important ones if necessary. So, dist-upgrade
command may remove some packages. The /etc/apt/sources.list file
contains a list of locations from which to retrieve desired package
files. See also apt_preferences(5) for a mechanism for overriding
the general settings for individual packages.

Things To Do After Initial Install:

If you have used the CD to install, and are not able to complete the steps above, because it says you only have the lists on the CD to use, then the fix is below which edits the apt-getsources list of software...

Root User

sudo su
sudo passwd root

You will prompted to enter and confirm the password for 'root'. After which you will be able to log in the root user and have full privileges without having to type 'sudo' at the beginning of each line.

sudo nano -w /etc/Muttrc
## tweaks
set mbox_type=maildir
set editor="nano"
# I like to see all my mail headers in my editor:
set edit_headers=yes
# don't wait for sendmail to finish (this runs sendmail in the background)
set sendmail_wait=-1
# this prevents Mutt from endlessly asking when you quit:
# "Move read messages to ~/mbox? ([no]/yes):"
set move=no
# this prevents Mutt from endlessly asking:
# "~/Mail does not exist. Create it? ([yes]/no):"
